Excellent service, punctuality, clean cars and no nonsense service. Mike was simply outstanding. Patient, courteous and utterly
professional. While driving us from the airport, he also took time to give us an overview of Christchurch. Highly recommended.

Really excellent service from start to finish. We had to book a driver at short notice after a broken arm prevented driving a hire car, and Mike was great during the quote/booking process.
Our driver, Jonny, was also excellent - and it was a pleasant surprise to be driven in a Jag!
Very happy to recommend their services.

Highly recommend using Mike and his team. We received fantastic service for a work offsite meeting. Mike's fleet of vehicles are immaculate, well presented and comfortable. Mike and his team are professional, discreet but also very warm, friendly and reliable.

I highly recommend this limousine service in New Zealand. I helped my employer to organize their business and personal trips. Recently, I organized one to New Zealand in July 2024. Mike Halliday was serving them for the transportation from ChristChurch to Queenstown. They were happy with his service. He is reliable and responsible and went extra miles to make your travel safe and memorable.

It was an absolute pleasure to deal with Mike on our wedding day. He has the warmest personality, great driving skills and attention to details. The car was super comfortable and impeccably clean.
Special thanks for taking care of my parents who don't speak English.
Highly recommend!

Mike is a very informative tour guide. We booked in advance for an all-day tour of Christchurch. He picked us up at the cruise terminal.

We chose a small group for just our family but he can accommodate larger groups if necessary. We are getting back on board our ship knowing that we saw each and every detail of Christchurch. Thank you Mike for an unforgettable day!!

We were fortunate to engage Mike Halliday for our recent trip to New Zealand. Mike’s charges were reasonable and he was detailed in the emails prior to our arrival at Christchurch. He brought us around the city and fetched us back safely from Arthur’s Pass when we took the TranzAlpine train. We then headed to Mount Cook and Lake Pukaki and stayed overnight in a villa there.

My young adult son and daughter were comfortable with his warmth and personality and the whole family of four even stayed overnight at Pukaki with him for the stargazing! We left for Glenorchy the next morning and en route we enjoyed the various stops like Lake Pearson that he brought us to. Mike had to endure a long day driving us around that day but he does not complain and we appreciate that. If you need someone reliable (Mike is never late) and agreeable you should engage Mike! He will make your trip a pleasant and enjoyable one!

Hello to the Tan Family from Singapore,

It is I who wish to say a big thanks for the opportunity to show you our beautiful South Island and being able to travel with such a lovely family. The stay at "Pukaki Lakeside Getaway" was a magnificent location waking up to the incredible views of Lake Pukaki and Aoraki Mount Cook were unforgettable. Your journey on the TranzAlpine train to Arthur's Pass and with me picking you up from the station and returning to Christchurch by Mercedes Benz minivan gives you the opportunity to stop at our amazing lakes on the way and of course "Castle Hill" and the mountain scenery.

I wish to thank you again for contacting ChauffeurNZ.com and looking forward to when you return. Kind regards,

Mike Halliday

As a regular chauffeur user, I can easily say that Mike was amazing and exceeded all expectations.

I had booked Mike to pickup my mother from the airport and take her to her hotel - she loved his friendly personality, and was so excited to get a mini sightseeing tour and commentary included.

Mike then picked me up from the airport the following day - my plane had been delayed by 3 1/2 hours, yet was still there to meet me (without any ill feelings!). Mike took us all back to the airport at the end of our holiday and walked us (and our bags) into the terminal. My mother farewelled him with a hug, just like she was saying good-bye to a family member.

Thank you, Mike - your friendly and professional service topped off our holiday.

From greeting us at airport arrival to the departure, Mike was more than on time, energetic, enthusiastic about the town and the country.

He was flexible to our changing ideas and helped also with luggage and eating reservations. A totally positive experience

After a succession of cancelled trips and excursions we asked Dr. Google to find us an alternative. Did he do well!

We don't normally travel in a private up-market Mercedes but Mike was instantly engaging and rapport was established.

The weather looked bad for our day trip to Akaroa, but by mid-morning the sun was out. We sampled cheeses at Barry's Bay, had a lovely detour to a little shoreside settlement and we were set for wonderful soup in Akaroa, then a dolphin watching cruise (lots of dolphins but also a great selection of birds including Arctic Skuas/jaegers, shearwaters, spotted and other shags and 1 penguin).

This was bespoke, personalised and responsive touring at its very best! Thanks Mike!

Before our trip began we had booked in advance a private tour with Chauffeur NZ from Queenstown to Christchurch which was the return leg of our ski vacation in NZ. Upon our arrival into Christchurch on the very first day of our trip, our flight to a Queenstown was cancelled at last minute, and the 6 of us were stranded at the airport with a host of bookings for various activities, reservations and commitments at risk. Not knowing what else to do or who to call, I called Mike (owner of Chauffeur NZ) and in less than an hour, he picked us up from the airport and we were on our way to Queenstown. As we had more bags than passengers, there were logistical and administrative hurdles that Mike helped to solve (which he did). Not only did he manage to get us to Queenstown safe and in very good time, he made the journey light hearted (very important since we just had a bad start to our vacation) and enjoyable.

In some countries, I would have had to pay a “ransom” in that situation, but Mike is honest and reasonable in his pricing.

A safe and considerate driver and a knowledgeable and interesting guide. We were brought around in a brand new vehicle. He pays attention to details as well to make the journey comfortable and enjoyable. It was our good fortune and blessing to have come across Mike and Chauffeur NZ.
